Lloyd repeated that he thought
it unwise for the West Ger

military facilities. But he wel
comed Chancellor Konrad Ade
nauer's assurances that the mat
ter would be pursued on in
agreement with the North At

Lloyd said he had been assured
by the West Getman and Spanish
govemments that there was no
truth in reports that the Germans
planned to set up a missile es
tablishment in Bilbao.
Lloyd expressed sympathy for
We,t. Germany's need for outside

"The average width of the Fed

pointed out. "A modern fighter
plane covers that distance in
from 10 to 15 minutes. Recently
a pilot who was not properly
trained came down in Czechoslo

dangeis which could arise from
that soft of thing."

Nixon a ruling on whether he!

stormed that he would make a!
motion and force the Senate to!
vote on his right to act.
Sen. Frank Carlson (R.-Kan' ). 1

that McClellan didn't need unani

j Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R.-

popped up to observe that any
kind of lengthy amendment
could be offered. He said some
one might even wrap up sections
of the Bible and submit them.
Previously Sen, Prescott Bush
(R.-Conn ), another who spelled
Nixon in the presiding officer's
chair, had held that if the Senate
should vote later to limit debate,

Khrushchev often has threat

this was the first time he had

,Cuba's major condition for the
talks was rejected.
The U.S. position was set out

Tho note, addressed to Foreign
;Minister Raul Roa, was signed and
delivered by Daniel Braddock,

There was no immediate re

The condition reiected by Brad

that the United States must guar-!

might affect the Cuban economy.!
That was another way of say
ing Castro's government would
not negotiate if the United
States cuts Cuba's preferred
sugar quota, in effect a subsi

to the Cuban economy.
The U.S. note referred to Cuba's
insistence that the United States
'take no unilateral measures dur
ling any talks. It said President
Eisenhower had pointed out even
before the Cuban offer to nego
tiate that the United States must
remain free to protect its legi

Nevertheless, the U.S. note said,
Washington "welcomes and shares
the expressed willingness of the
government of Cuba to seek a so

Thor Missile Flies
1700 Mile Course

—A modified Thor missile, pow

yesterday.
The test ended the era of the
intermediate range ballistic mis

Within four weeks Thor and
Jupiter—America's two IRBMS—
have closed out their military test
programs here and are being in

The Thor weapons system pro

Civil
WASETINGTON (.IP) The Supreme Court yesterday up
held a key part of the 1957 Civil Rights Act and ordered 1377
Louisiana Negroes restored to that state's voting rolls. Both
decisions were unanimous.
In a split decision, the court sustained the right of states
to discharge employes who refuse
to answer questions touching on
security.
The court reversed a finding by
U.S. Dist. Judge T. Hoyt Davis at
Macon, Ga , that sections of the
1957 act aimed at protecting vot
ing rights of Negroes were un
constitutional.
Then, on the basis of ifs find
ings in the Georgia case, the
court held that 1377 Negro vot
ers had been illegally purged
from the rolls in Louisiana's
Washington Parish. The court
ordered them restored.
This first Supreme Court test of
the vital voting provisions of the
Civil Rights Act resulted in a fed
eral government victory which
presumably will permit the Ne
groes to vote in Louisiana's April
19 state election.
The ruling on the tight of
states to discharge employes
who refuse to answer questions
dealing with security came in
the case of two employes of Los
Angeles County, Calif. They
were discharged after refusing
to answer questions in appear
ances before the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities.
Chief Justice Earl Warren dis
qualified himself in this opinion
because of his California back
ground. The other justices split
4-4 on the discharge of Thomas W.
Nelson, which had the effect of
upholding his dismissal. In the
case of Arthur Globe, the dis
charge was sustained by a 5-3
vote.
Justice Tom C. Clark delivered
the majority opinion which held,
in efect, that the California law
applied in the case was sound be
cause it was based on a question
of insubordination by Globe.

Soviet Union
May Have
Atomic Subs
WASHINGTON (tP) The So
viet Union is believed to have
atomic submarines as part of its
big underwater fleet.
The Kremline is reported' to be
withholding news of this until
enough of the long-range subs
are built to create a big splash
when it is disclosed.
Persons who reported this yes
terday said the Soviets have cut
down production of conventional
submarines in order to concen
trate on nuclear, missile-firing
subs.
The number of atomic subma
rines the Soviets may have was
not disclosed. But it was pointed
out that the nuclear reactors pow
ering the Soviet icebreaker "Len
in" could be adapted to under
water craft.
The Soviet's reluctance to talk
about its atomic submarine de
velopments is believed to be in
fluenced by the knowledge they
are far behind the United States
in this naval field.
The U.S Navy already has 10
atomic submarines in commis
sion. These include one guided
missile crafk i , a fleet ballistic mis
sile and a r dar craft. Another 27
are either being built or have
been authorized.
The Soviet's progress in devel
oping atomic submarines coin
cides with reports that the Chi
nese Reds also have manufac
tured some of their own conven
tional-powered underwater craft.
